I really don't get this, as far as I am aware, in Portugal there are still hardly any laptops or tablets in most schools, other than fancy ones for upper class folks.

Everyone else is pen and paper, shared computer labs, and home computers shared by all family kids.

Actually a few years ago schools started lending laptops (which you have to return at the end of the school year), but as far as I remember we never used them in class.

I can't quite recall if this was before the covid outbreak, but I think we still had in person classes that year.

That’s why poorer countries are thriving in maths literacy according to a report by the OCDE called “computers and learning making the connection” or something like that
